If scripture is not breathed out by God, then do not read it. 

If the book of Deuteronomy comes merely from Moses, then do not read it.

But, if this book comes from the heaven itself; from the heart and voice and breath of God, then read it. And more than that, treasure it.

What gives the Word value is that it is the voice of God

What makes the Bible a treasure is that it is the very thoughts of God

What makes the Bible PROFITABLE is it birthplace in the heart of God.

At the end of her life, my mother was asked if she wanted to say any final words to her grandchildren.  She replied the most wonderful line: "Oh, I have given them everything they need." Imagine coming to the end of your life and being able to say basically, I don’t need to do anything additional; I have no regrets for who or how I have poured into. I have equipped them with everything I am capaple of . Now it is their turn. 

At the end of his life, Moses essentially says the same thing. He has poured into the next generation and charges them to be of particular courage.  Join me for 7 minutes to hear of Moses and my Mom.

What does the Lord have for me today? Is it a secret, unknowable, & far off?

No it is not unknowable, not too difficult, not out of reach,& not too complicated.

It is near. It is doable. It is understandable. It is here. Why?

SO THAT YOU CAN DO IT.

The revelation of God is enough for faith, for practice, for conduct,  and for right thinking. He has given us enough for everything we need here.

We have a tendency to be desiring the next thing, where all along He cries out, "I've given you everything you need." We will experience a small 7 minute taste of that today.  This podcast is everything you need, at least for today. ;-)

You may be new to the concept of entering into a covenantal relationship.  However, covenant keeping in the context of relationship IS NOT NEW TO GOD. He's been at it since page one of the Bible.  Of note, He has always been faithful.

Can we make covenant with God today? Listen 7 minutes with me as we figure this out.  Is God still in the business of relational covenant keeping? Even if it is with knuckleheads?

I will spare you most of the 53 verses of curses pronounced upon the people of God.  You'd rightly expect them for a people who fail to Listen to God's voice or follow His commands.  But He also adds this condemnation: "Because you did not serve the Lord your God with joyfulness and gladness of heart.."

Think about that. Not only does God wish obedient hands, He wants joyful hearts. Let this be a heart check today for all of us. subscribe

When will blessings chase you down and overtake you? 

Sometimes the answer is in the presence of my enemies.

YOU MEAN TO TELL ME THAT THE BLESSINGS OF THE LORD WILL BE SEEN IN THE CONTEXT OF ENEMIES AND BATTLES? Exactly.  sometimes enemies are required to most clearly see His hand.

The spiritual life is not lived absent conflict.  It is lived absent aloneness.

Please come back tomorrow.  Lord willing, I'll be here if He gives me another sunrise here.

God makes a nationwide morality play in Deuteronomy 27 and 28. ½ the people play the good guys, and ½ the nation plays the bad guys.  The whole country literally has a part.  They stand on the dividing lines of good vs. evil.  

Everybody speaks so that they understood the choice before them.  Everybody understands the consequences.  

Don't we all similarly understand that we get to choose, but choose under the watchful eye of the Lord.

God is asks us for a response to all that He does for us. 

He sets His love upon us. He chooses us. He walks in our midst.

We can give Him ½ a heart, or probably even a 1/16th of a heart.  He asks for the whole enchilada. 

He'll picture our ideal response quite literally today:Even the rocks bear witness to the full hearted response that God wishes. Listen 7 minutes. Like. subscribe. share. re-post. Make a whole-hearted response.
